This type of exercise could boost your sex appeal, apparently

Most of us exercise for health reasons but also to look a bit more attractive, let's be honest here...

But we're also fully aware that we don't exactly look our best while we're actually AT the gym, you know what with all the sweat, shortness of breath and general dishevelment.

So, we were just a tad surprised to hear that one gym chain has launched a fitness class they say will help boost your sex appeal while you're still in your trainers and baggy leggings.

Dubbed 'Pheromone Improvement Training' or (P.I.T.), it's a type of workout that claims to make you irresistible...

As The Metro reports, London-based fitness chain Gymbox says its new invention will 'significantly boost' your sex appeal by – and this is where we start to get more than a little dubious – making you as sweaty as possible.

Yep, that's what they say.

Apparently, fresh sweat contains a powerful pheromone called 'androstenone' that acts like an aphrodisiac, so Gymbox wants to get you producing as much of it as possible via a 20-minute HIIT class designed to target your body's main sweat points, including the forehead and armpits.

Oh, and they also want you to wear a special suit to make you sweat EVEN MORE.

Crucially, this so-called sexy pheromone only has a two-hour lifespan before it evaporates, so Gymbox wants you to act fast and head straight out to a local bar (yep, without changing) to test your boosted pulling power.
